History

Bhandup's relationship with trains goes back to the very earliest times, for it was during a visit to Bhandup in 1843 that George Clark, Chief Engineer to the Bombay Government, first had the idea of linking Mumbai to Thane by railway.[1] The Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company ran its first train on 16 April 1853.
